Gratitude Journal November 9, 2007



1. I'm grateful that my husband changed his mind about allowing the kids to participate in basketball and cheerleading this year without me saying a word. I'm trying very hard not to be a manipulative person anymore. Participating will make our schedules difficult for a season, but I believe that the experience, the exercise, and the relationships built will be worth it. This picture is of my three oldest children at their awards ceremony last year with one of the Globe Trotters.


2. I talked to my brother today. We don't talk often enough. He was very understanding about me being stressed about the holidays. He said he will consider coming to visit us in the Spring rather than for Christmas. I'm so relieved. He has a new daughter I've not yet seen. Here is a photo of their sweet family last year when we visited him last...before the new addition. I'm excited about meeting my new neice this Spring.
3. I'm grateful that our internet service is working again and that Mike was able to use the computer at his office to pay some bills online today that are due soon.
4. I'm very grateful for my husband. I don't think either one of us knew what we were getting ourselves into when we said "I do." But one thing is for sure...God is in it and He's growing us. This evening as my husband and I cooked dinner together, it occured to me how very blessed I am by this relationship and I'm thankful to God for it.
